Human "hunger" !
SITUATION:
I'm utterly defeated! I could not refute,contradict or attack yd's (un)timely response to our hours of futile discussions about "what-to-do"!
REASON:
At this kutty chat eatery,we were having our "talks";discussing what should be done for us to get over our once-in-a-while pangs of "oh-gawd!He's-jus-so-perfect!"...I just say, "try this yd,its yummm" as i relished a mouthful of ragda papdi.She just zaps me saying,"see?when you are hungry,anything seems yummm"!!!!
(its a different issue that the ragda padi was really yumm!)
REACTION:
Caught big time man!No answer to that super move of her's!Now i am back with my response to the smart move and with my take on "hunger"!
so...here goes MY version:
MY DEFINITION:
Hunger (contextually though!ahem!!)is a state which is achieved gradually,due to the deprivation of food,not as food in itself,but of food which satiates the "hunger".
MY EXPLANATION:
One may silence the "hunger" with whatever it is that is available at that point of time,but satiety is achieved only when "that" food is given which appeals to the appetite.
(NEGATION):
But when you're no longer hungry,why even think of satiating your hunger with food you like??
(RESPONSE):
Thats coz,hunger is not completely satisfied with chillar stuff!It is only (ONLY) when a tamil soul smells thayirsaadam that satiety is attained!(Now try and negate that!!)
hmm....ok...thats that!now...my take:
ROUND 2:
1)When satiety is guaranteedby,what you think,oops!nope!, by what you 'know' is on the platter,why wait until you're famished?
2)On a scale of H-U-N-G-E-R, where one starts out with 'H' when least hungry,to reach 'R' when it is at its alarming heights,I would say i am(as of now) some where between 'U' and 'N'...that is H-U-and half an 'N'.I am not dying outta hunger,but i still feel a part of it.Does that mean i cannot relish what i feel i may never get (if not now)?Do i have to wait until i have reached 'R' to grab 'the' food?(ahem!!we do use *grab* with food right??)
What if someone else gets to enjoy it in the mean while??
3)When what you know will satiate you best,is put right across you, you are bound to drool! and you are forced to be attracted to have it all irrespective of your level of hunger or its availability!
4)Your hunger does not make it inviting.It is inviting coz it promises you satiety.You are attracted to it whether or not you're famished for it shall (or so u know) fulfil your "hunger".
5)What appeals to you appeals to you at any given point.That is the reason it appeals to you all the more.Coz you drool over it at any level of hunger.And that is what makes you wanna take a bite of it, no-matter-when!
6)The same ingredients as in "the" food, are used in the making of a myriad others...But, what makes you surrender to 'this' one,is the proportion in which they are used,which cannot be changed in the other food either!Hence,it is humanly impossible to satiate 'the' hunger with chillar combination/proportion of the very same ingredients,coz the magic is lost then!
7)Why would anyone want to think twice before eating food?coz anyway food is meant to be eaten.moreover, when your desire to relish the food meets the food's pleasure of being eaten by the connoisseur, why bloody wait???
(NEGATION):
Is food meant to be eaten only by connoisseurs??
(RESPONSE):
That is not what is meant here.When fine cuisine meets the skilled taste buds of a gourmet, the quality and the purpose of food is well extracted by him.Not every body can relish fine cuisine.It takes a gourmet to do that!
8)Hunger needs food.(royal food is more than welcome).Royal food is right in front of hopeful eyes and watering mouth.Would it be just to turn the yes away and shut the mouth with a cheap substitute?and deprive the food some royal pleasure of being appreciated and enjoyed???
CONCLUSION:
'It" is yumm NOT coz I am hungry. 'I' am hungry NOT coz something yummm is within my reach.but, when i AM hungry and when something yummm IS at my disposal,I can by all means own it, right?(provided, it is 'out' to be owned by some hungry soul!)
PS: yd...i don think u will ever ever think og hunger again( if u knw wat i mean!) coz anyway, hungry that we are, we always deny ourselves the sumptuous meals ot there!And ya! it is always only when we are tired of being hungry, that "the" food gets more and more available!!!

hunger exists for all needs--- shall we fall for it??
shall we fight it??
shall we accept it??
come to think of it, thairsaadam appeals to very few when not dying of hunger... of course we have diferent varieties of attaining the satietary bliss even with thairsaadam, from the sophisticated way of eating with spoon to sueezing the rice in the fist and licking the thair from the bottom of elbow (and hence savoring the megalomaniacal delusions of feeling like "Veera Paandya Katta Bommana"!).
overwhelming flow of arguments!please spare me!!will take some time to think over..
btw there is truth in teh last line..its only when we are not hungry that food becomes more and more available!
it's an interesting dialogue much like that between achilles and the tortoise (Lewis Carroll carry over) - may be you'll find an answer in trying to frame a p, q type mathematical statement and use "the" hunger and "the" food once and hunger and food to see if it makes sense. like (Z: if p then q) might be a statement. and u could say well p is "there is food", q there is hunger. or p is hunger; q is there is food. or p is good food, q is good hunger. u get the point. and see which one makes most sense to you. in the case it doesnt u can see why it doesnt too.
well well well...
kedar...thayirsaadam "to a tam soul"is like what uppinkai anna is for a kannadiga!unalloyed pleasure!i am in fact talkin abt only those few tams out there who jus cant do widout it!a meal (even 4 my mom) is icomplete widout it!thats all!
yd...only u knw wat i am talkin abt here(ahem!)...so i am pinning all my hopes on u to dig wats in here!
anonymous(damn!)...i wish i cud use all my 90+ math skills onto "this" piece as well...but then u see,this isnt meant to be understood.i don even knw if i undstd,and even if i dont,its still welcome...but i wud myself lov to see this (un/mis-understood) analysis of mine in the form of a mathematical statement...wat say u?help??
good one divya! i actually evolved( say invented..if no one did it before) another concept...God-ize this hunger..and The god of Hunger is called "AatmaRaamudu". His abode is our belly...no wait!i think i can put the entire concept on my blog itself..will do it when i can snatch some leisure minutes.
got reminded of the sentence which was given as a topic in one of the elocutions that i participated...
" The food was good, but I was hungry "
I did not type this wrong... trust me, that was the topic. And the talks were amazing!
good post... but it could be a little more structured... perhaps
thanx aakarsh...well..wat can i say!an agnostic's post begets a god-ized version!!haha!
vidya...how wud any1 come up wid a topic that deceptively deep i wonder...anyway,this post was jus so impromptu that i didnt really think abt organisin it.moreover wats being dealt wid here is not hunger.look at it from "the" focal point,and it pretty clear...(contact yd for more details!!!)
I do understand many things that you thought I did not.
I will contact her maybe.
whoa!"not understand"???ur clan cannot not-undstd nythin..(too many negations??)...the view point can change the perception...thats all i meant!
